To have this card show up on the mechanics page and to easily include reminder text here, put [] brackets around the word "highstorm."
Great! Thanks. I just discovered this site and am still figuring out how it works.
A mechanic that can help you land screw yourself seems a bit dangerous. Potentially creates a lot of feel bad moments. If I recall correctly I remember there being an article by Rosewater or whoever in which it was said that they learned pretty well (was it about the Masques block?) that players don't like saccing their lands.
I think I've found the article you're talking about: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/land-lost-2009-10-26
Yeah, this is a very real danger. I like the mechanic enough that I'm willing to let it live until there are enough cards to do a playtest. Once we get to that point, well, maybe it'll be a darling I have to kill. And I will be sad.
